I had been a smoker for 36 years. I had tried several times to quit(cold turkey and the patch)unsucessfully. On October 24, 2011 I picked up an e cig and never looked back. It’s hard to believe I went from 2.5 packs a day to nothing overnight but that is what happened. I have been able to lose 35 lbs and have been taken off of my blood pressure medicine.Thank god for e cigs they saved my life
